Wrong Side of the Tracks is a five-book series running from Scum (2021) through Wanted (2024). The series follows characters living on the margins, with each book centering a different couple while building on the shared world. Titles like Primal, D!ckhead, and Grind signal the raw, confrontational tone of the series.
This is one of Merikan’s more recent contemporary series and shows their continued interest in writing about characters who exist outside polite society. The dark romance elements are front and center throughout.
